Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function

The Planetary Nebula Luminosity Function is a photometric distance indicator that models the statistical distribution of luminosities of planetary nebulae in a galaxy, exploiting their characteristic bright [O III] λ5007 emission to identify a relatively invariant bright-end cutoff usable for estimating extragalactic distances.
